So, tore down my 120 salt. Couldn't keep up with the maintenance/price so I decided a freshwater setup would be more suitable for me. I vinegar cleaned absolutely everything twice and figured I'd use mostly everything. I have a 32g sump for filtration and thought I'd use my 220g coralife protein skimmer as well. I have a T5 overhead light but I figured I'd only use 2 bulbs because I don't plan on using live plants. So, I've started the cycle about a week ago with a couple frozen shrimp and wanted to start planning out things now about 3 weeks in advance so I can ship what I need and get everything situated. Any ideas on stocking for the tank? Figured I would want a center piece fish or two then a good amount of bottom feeders as they are my favorite. But heck I'm up for absolutely anything from an all mixed tank to a species tank. I just need ideas. Also, what is your guy's opinion on the protein skimmer? I don't care if it's not necessary but if it is gonna hurt the tank then I'll take it out. (Sorry for the long post, I try to be thorough)
